Suppression of Oxygen Radicals Protects Diabetic Endothelium Damage and Tissue Perfusion in a Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes Rodent Model.
Annals of Plastic Surgery 2019 January
BACKGROUND: Oxygen free radicals play a central role in diabetic angiopathy. This study investigated whether suppression of oxygen radicals could decrease endothelial damage and increase peripheral tissue circulation in a diabetic rodent model.
METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were treated using streptozotocin to induce diabetes. The experiments were performed 4 weeks after diabetes induction: group 1: control, consisted of normal rats; group 2: diabetes, did not receive treatment; groups III (SOD10) and IV (SOD50): diabetes, received polyethylene glycol-conjugated superoxide dismutase (SOD), an antioxidant, 10 and 50 U/kg per day intraperitoneally for 4 weeks. Each subgroup consisted of 10 rats. Oxygen radicals in blood mononuclear cells were detected by flow cytometry. The blood lipid peroxidation byproduct malondialdehyde was measured. Tissue perfusion of hind limb was examined by laser Doppler. The expressions of oxygen radicals, as demonstrated by 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-OG), and constitutive endothelial nitric oxide synthase in distal femoral vessels were examined by immunohistochemical staining.
RESULTS: Oxygen radicals, as demonstrated by H2O2 with 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate-conjugated expression, were significantly increased in diabetic rats. However, the SOD treatment groups significantly suppressed the H2O2 reaction. Diabetic-induced high malondialdehyde levels were significantly suppressed in the SOD50 group. The topical tissue blood perfusion was significantly increased as detected by laser Doppler in SOD10 and SOD50 groups, as compared with that in diabetes without treatment group (P < 0.05). The expression of 8-OG was markedly increased in the diabetic endothelium and subintima compared with that in normal vessels. Polyethylene glycol-conjugated SOD significantly suppressed 8-OG expression and protected endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression.
CONCLUSIONS: Suppression of oxygen radicals, particularly with the higher dosage of polyethylene glycol-conjugated SOD at 50 U/kg per day, could have a positive effect to protect against endothelial damage and enhance peripheral perfusion in diabetes.
